The BC School Fruit and Vegetable Nutrition Program is run by the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation. They are a are a non-profit, charitable organization that works with educators to bring local agriculture to BC's students. Together with farmers, teachers, and agriculture specialists, they are teaching A.R. Lord Elementary students about the story of food in British Columbia. Our school also includes the + Milk option which delivers milk and fortified soy beverages as an add on. There is no cost to students.
Why this program is great: 
  • It increases students' acceptance of, exposure to, and willingness to try fruits and vegetables.
  • It increases students' knowledge and awareness of fruits and vegetables as nutritious foods to eat.
  • It increases knowledge and awareness of locally grown foods.
  • It increases access to local fruits and vegetables in BC schools
  • It supports BC's economy and builds relationships between industry partners by working with local growers and distributors to bring fresh BC products to schools across the province.
